SANCTIONS

Where it hurts

Oil embargo can render the IRI more vulnerable

16-Jul-2008 (59 comments)
The fact is that Mullahs continue to ignore sanctions with little consequence for the regime even though Iran's economy is stagnating. What is the alternative? Will international sanctions produce the desired effect? Is there any chance to solve the dilemma with the IRI? Can the group of six results in a breakthrough? Is a military intervention a right solution? The answer to all of them remains negative. As long as the UN does not directly punish the plague of IRI, not people who already suffer from this totalitarian regime, a real solution is not available.

If you were offered the grand task of running Iran, what would you do?

شنلی در مه

مجسمه ای در موزه لس انجلس

بچه که بودم در ذهنم کمترین تردیدی نداشتم که آن چیزی که آن وقت ها " چیز واقعی" می نامیدمش، بعدها وقتی بزرگ شدم، وقتی از دست مدرسه و رویا کُشی پر هیاهو آنجا نجات پیدا کردم، وقتی آرزوهایم را عملی کردم،‌(‌رفتن به دانشگاه، نقاش خوب شدن، عاشق شدن، شاعر شدن، سفر کردن...) خواهد آمد. امروز در سی و سه سالگی می بینم که " آن چیز واقعی" برای همیشه غیر قابل دسترس خواهد ماند. از خواب که پریدم حال عجیبی داشتم. چیزی بین رویا و واقعیت. تشخیص آنکه کدام یک واقعیت دارد سخت بود. در رویا همه جیز ساده است. یک عالمه کلمه به ذهنم هجوم می آورند که مثل شیطانک هایی رقصان در سرم می رقصند و می خواهند بیایند اینجا اما به محض اینکه پا در ثانیه می گذارم همگی مثل مهِ بلندیهای جاده کارپنتریا در سراشیبی آن طرف جاده و آفتاب محو می شوند.>>>
